Is Alfonso Cuarón the right fit to direct “Fantastic Beasts”? We share two very opposing views on this subject

Recently, MuggleNet reported on the rumor that surfaced last week from the Twitter account of Nikki Finke – the founder and editor-in-chief of Deadline Hollywood – that included Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuarón as “deep in talks to direct JK Rowling’s Harry Potter spinoff ‘Fantastic Beasts.'”

This type of news caused a buzz within the fandom, and not all of it was positive. In fact, while there are many fans who would be thrilled for this choice of director given the recent success of Cuarón with Gravity, there are many others who feel his adaptation of Prisoner of Azkaban was, shall we say… UNFORGIVABLE!

To firmly discuss the two separate sides, we asked two of our brilliant writers to share their viewpoints:

Caleb Graves, Senior Editor for MuggleNet and co-host of Alohomora!, shares his view as to why Cuarón is the PERFECT choice, and

Irvin K., aka hpboy13, our editorialist for the Three Broomsticks, shares his view on why Cuarón is a TERRIBLE choice.

You can read each of their separate views RIGHT HERE, and when you are finished, be sure to let us know your thoughts of Cuarón directing Fantastic Beasts by sharing your comments with us directly below the editorial.
